How did I only find this in my feed at the end of your monthlong venture? Driving, to me, is the scariest thing that many of us do on a regular basis.
My boyfriend and I were on a road trip back in May. We get plenty of sleep and keep our driving to a minimum, but the road through the Oregon desert was long and flat and featureless. My boyfriend nodded off at the wheel and drifted into the other lane. I shouted and woke him up. Thankfully there were no other cars in sight, but we were both really shaken up about it. It was the scariest moment in months of roadtripping.
You caught it at just the right time! Right... at the very end haha! I was about to put on my jetpack and leave the Steemit planet, but I had to stop for a second to reply to your comment.
What do you guys do to your car when you leave the country? Just park it at home? Yikes! Drifting into the other lane is no bueno. I'm glad nothing terrible happened to you on your venture to the other side. In a way, I'm happy you didn't venture to the other other side. If that were to happen to me, I would've not grabbed the wheel for a couple of days. Happy both of you made it out in one piece!
Yeah, we had to pull over and calm our nerves for a good while. I'm glad we didn't cross over to the other other side too!
The car is shared. When we take it on trips we practically live out of it, and the rest of the time my boyfriend's brother uses it. Unfortunately, it just sits around a lot of the time (no one in the apartment likes to drive), but if we sold it local trips would be so much harder... Oh the dilemma!
Congratulations on completing another series, by the way! So much dedication.
Quite a pickle of a dilemma indeed! But, I feel like the strain on the local trips is a far greater consequence, so keeping the car, if for sentimentality's sake, would be the better option. I usually charge people a hundred bucks for that kind of advice, but I'm giving you a freebie ;) Don't tell anyone else though.
Haha! Thanks! Way harder than I thought. But, Dedication is one of my many middle names, after all. Suffice to say, I won't ever be organizing any contests on STEEM though haha!
